Step by step process to export references with abbreviated journal names

loic.bertrand

Hi all,

I tried the following workflow:

- Install the Better BibTeX for Zotero plugin

- Enable Preferences → Better BibTeX → Automatically abbreviate journal titles if no abbreviation is set

- Create a saved search or collection containing the references I want to export

- Right-click the selected items and choose Export Items…

- Select one of: BibTeX, BibLaTeX, Better BibTeX, Better BibLaTeX

- Enable Abbreviate journal titles in the export options

- Save the resulting .bib file

However, the journal titles are not abbreviated in the exported file.

What is wrong with this process?

I cannot reproduce with the same setup. (Tried on a collection I have removed all the items journal abbreviation prior to the export.) /journaltitle is abbreviated in the created .bib file.

Zotero 8.0-beta.19
BBT 7.0.68
